The story of Fickle Nellie
Julie is an artist exploring mixed media, collage, printmaking, mosaic, and watercolors. Inspired by early 20th-century design and childhood memories of her grandmothers, Julie is drawn to the era's distinct style and elegance. She often incorporates imagery of women from the early to mid-20th century.
A key part of her process involves collecting and categorizing objects, which form the basis of her works. These elements are evident in her collages and monoprints.
"I have an intuitive process and a fascination with the aesthetic and tactility of vintage jewelry and design. I yearn for a time when there was more attention to detail, craftsmanship, beauty, and sustainability, contrasting with today's mass production of disposable items. My life experiences, relationships, and love of fashion merge with inspiration from vibrant colors and unique patterns, creating a fusion of influences in my work."
